Installing Truecrypt on Raspbian

The Raspberry Pi can easily be used as Media Center. However, when using Truecrypt-encrypted hard drives, installation can be rather complicated. This article will give detailed instructions on how to install Truecrypt on Raspbian.

To install Raspbian, I followed the detailed guide here. To get started with Raspbian I installed Firefox and Nautilus:

$ su
$ apt-get install iceweasel
$ apt-get install nautilus

In addition, make sure the build essentials are installed:

$ apt-get install build-essential

Note: Some of the following commands may require root access, so when not using su as above, use sudo instead. sudo may not be installed in advance. For adding a user to the sudoer list, use

$ adduser &lt;user&gt; sudo

Now we are ready to install Truecrypt:

Download the Truecrypt sources from here. As the current 7.2 is missing the Makefile, I (as in [1]) used version 7.1a. The source code is available here: https://github.com/FauxFaux/truecrypt. To unzip the downloaded .zip file use the unzip command:

After installing all needed libraries, we are ready to compile wxWidgets. First configure and build wxWidgets (if ./configure does not work immediately, chmod +x configure may be appropriate). This may take some time ...

In September, I was honored to receive the MINT-Award IT 2018, sponsored by ZF and audimax, for my master thesis on weakly-supervised shape completion. For CVPR 2019, however, I am working on a different topic: adversarial robustness and generalization of deep neural networks.
